Pneumatic controls and machines are powered by compressed air, which is a particularly safe energy transfer medium insofar as it isn't explosive and doesn't offer an asphyxiation hazard. Manufacturing equipment and machinery, construction tools, medical/dental equipment, and countless other devices all rely on compressed air to effect movement. Pneumatic controls are used in a wide variety of applications, and air operated counters offer precision manufacturing process monitoring and regulation functions that are all facilitated through the use of compressed air. Pneumatics offers the best of two worlds by utilizing an ecologically harmless energy transfer medium that just happens to be free.
